When he walked around the city, many people around him were talking about this matter. It seemed that this place was starting to become chaotic. Perhaps his arrival here was the beginning of the chaos.
"Although I did not enter their organization, one day, I received four small golden stones. There was a note below them. It said that if there was anything important, I could crush this stone. They would immediately send someone to check." A small golden stone appeared in Yuan Li's hand. He placed this stone on the stone table.
"This?" Gu Zheng looked curiously at this inconspicuous object. It was like a rock by the roadside. It was so irregular, as if it was dyed with a layer of golden dye. Even if it was deliberately thrown out, no one would pick it up.
"Yes. Although there are four of them, there is only one chance. Once you crush one, the other three will be crushed. Perhaps they want me to monitor for them," Yuan Li said seriously.
If what Gu Zheng said was right, then the Goblin's comeback would bring disaster to everyone.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's crush it now and inform them," Gu Zheng said as he looked into Yuan Li's eyes. He did not understand what he meant.
"I understand what you said very well, and I believe every word you say. But did you realize that the other party is very smart this time?" Yuan Li immediately explained.
"Didn't you realize? On the surface, all of this has nothing to do with the Goblin. Most of it is because of the internal strife among the human traitors. Even if there are some Little Goblin outside, I am sure that most of them do not know who is standing at the end. "
Gu Zheng thought about it carefully. It was indeed as Yuan Li said. Those Little Goblin were the vanguard. Those Little Goblin behind the scenes, although they knew, must have hidden very deeply. Moreover, they must have set up restrictions. Even if he caught them, he would not be able to obtain any information from them. Instead, they would be hidden even deeper.
Even now, there were many Little Goblin sneaking into the human world every year. No matter what the outcome was, the immortal cultivators of the human world would deal with them. Their opponents were the demons who stood at the peak.
Even if ordinary demons had no interaction with humans, they had no reason to kill them.
"They have to find the figure of the Great Demon on the other side and have enough evidence. Otherwise, they won't make a move unless they are absolutely confident. You know that we can't get involved in the affairs of the human world. After all, not everyone can get out of it at any time. Once they get involved, they might get sucked into the vortex and be trapped there for the rest of their lives," Yuan Li said calmly.
Gu Zheng admitted that he was a little anxious this time. He seemed to have taken things for granted. He thought that if he revealed this information, they would make a move, whether it was to suppress them again or to kill them once and for all.
Even if he pulled Bei Chen over, they wouldn't believe him. Gu Zheng didn't believe that they didn't know about Bei Chen's existence. Bei Chen had been hiding there for such a long time, he must have been hiding from them, telling them that he was very honest.
It was a pity that Lan Xing had run away. It would have been great if he could have caught him. Then, he would have been able to prove himself.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch him sit down like this? " Gu Zheng asked. If that was really the case, then when could he rescue Xue Er?
"They can't make a move, but I can. Once I'm done with this, I'll go back and clean up the sect. I want to see what these traitors are thinking. I've only been out for a few thousand years, and the enemy has already invaded. They have no sense of danger," Yuan Li said angrily.
"If there's a need, please bring me along. I'll go with you. Eradicating these evil Goblin is the responsibility of us human pioneers," Gu Zheng said solemnly.
"Take this stone first. If you had brought it with you when you were fighting with them, it could have been tainted with the Goblin's aura. This is also a kind of evidence. If you see them again and kill them, please keep their corpses. That will be more convincing." Yuan Li pushed the yellow stone over and gestured for Gu Zheng to keep it.
"I still have some with me. I'll take them when I go back. Anyway, they can only be used once," Yuan Li persuaded again.
"Alright, I'll accept it." Gu Zheng straightforwardly placed it into his own space.
"Oh right, what's the use of that thing outside? I've never seen it before." Gu Zheng thought of the strange thing outside and asked curiously.
Even though he had lived two lives, he didn't dare to say that he could recognize everything. Many things only appeared a few times or disappeared after one time. It could be said that he couldn't even recognize half of the strange things.
"I named that thing the Heavenly Essence Plant. It has a very large amount of energy. It has the attributes of ice and fire. In my heart, it's at least comparable to the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Peach," Yuan Li said as he looked at the beautiful flowers outside through the open stone door.
"Then what's its effect? It actually provoked the Goblin to the point of sparing no expense. " Gu Zheng was very curious. He followed Yuan Li's gaze and looked over. He couldn't guess what it was at all.
"Of course, its effect is very domineering. It can be said that it's like a second life." At this point, Yuan Li said excitedly. After discovering that it was about to mature, Yuan Li had been guarding this place for thousands of years. He didn't even return to his own sect and guarded this place day and night.
"It's about to mature. Do you see it? The flowers on it are beginning to close. There's not much time left. When they completely close, the essence of countless years will turn into a pool of liquid and flow into it. It'll be like a red fruit growing on top of it." Yuan Li paused for a moment before continuing.
"Its effect is that when you're seriously injured, it can help you recover from your injuries in an instant and directly return to your peak. Moreover, it can last for a very long time. During that time, if you're not instantly killed, you're basically an existence that can't be killed. For Jin Xian, it can be said to be an instant recovery," Yuan Li said with a burning gaze.
"If that's the case, the Goblin doesn't have to go through so much trouble to fight for it, right?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask. Although this effect was very powerful, it wasn't as heaven-defying as he said.
Although many things weren't as powerful, they still had this effect. For example, the two elixirs that Gu Zheng ate in the Asura Secret Realm were basically similar to this.
"Of course, if that's the case, I won't guard it day and night and take care of it carefully. If you're in your peak state, as long as your cultivation is at the Late Jin Xian Realm and there's a special method to assist you, after eating it, you'll be forcefully promoted to the Grand Heavenly Realm. Although your cultivation won't rise along with it, there won't be any side effects at all," Yuan Li's eyes revealed a burning gaze as he continued.
"How much do you think it's worth for someone who's been stuck in the Jin Xian Realm for so many years?"
Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with shock after hearing this. Entering the Grand Heavenly Realm without any side effects? For those who were stuck at the peak of their cultivation, there was almost a 50% chance that they could advance. How could they not go crazy over it?
It was no wonder that even though he knew that there were two Intermediate Immortals here, he still tried to struggle before escaping. If it was Gu Zheng, he wouldn't be willing to accept it either.
Although he was only at the Intermediate Jin Xian Realm now, whether it was to protect his life, keep it for his own use in the future, or simply use it to exchange for some things, it was absolutely worth it.
Although Yuan Li was looking outside with excitement, his heart was unusually calm. He had been secretly looking at Gu Zheng from the corner of his eyes.
He wasn't exaggerating at all. In the face of such a heaven-defying item, he was shocked to realize that Gu Zheng only emitted that unimaginable light at the beginning. He didn't even have the slightest bit of greed, which made him unable to believe it. Could it be that he wasn't moved at all?
"It's simply a priceless treasure. No matter who it is, they would do anything to get it. It's simply a pass to the Grand Heavenly Realm," Gu Zheng was still admiring it as he clicked his tongue in wonder.
If it was the first time Gu Zheng saw this item, he would have fought for it no matter what. But now, it didn't pique his interest at all. However, he still knew its value.
If Lingli knew about this effect, she would definitely kill Senior Deng to snatch it. Even if it was a life-saving elixir, she wouldn't waste it.
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't seem to be faking it, Yuan Li was really impressed. If he was in Gu Zheng's position, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
Just as Yuan Li was about to say something, the magma outside suddenly began to boil. Countless fist-sized fireballs emerged from below and flew around the small space.
Some of the fireballs flew towards the Heavenly Yuan Plant. Although most of them were extinguished by the cold air before they could reach it, there were still many small fireballs that hit it.
Yuan Li's figure immediately flashed out of the cave and took out a fiery red fireball. Sparks of flames burned on it continuously. Yuan Li raised the fireball in his hand high up. Streaks of red light were emitted from it and shot into the surface of the magma.
The raging magma slowly calmed down and soon returned to its original state.
Only then did Yuan Li let out a sigh of relief. He said to Gu Zheng behind him, "Therefore, when it reaches maturity, the abnormal movements below will become more frequent. From the looks of it, it will mature completely in less than half a month."
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for obtaining such a treasure." Gu Zheng chuckled as he congratulated.
"Haha." Yuan Li couldn't help but laugh when he thought about obtaining this item. However, in the blink of an eye, his laughter disappeared.
Gu Zheng looked at Yuan Li's hesitant face. It was as if he wanted to say something but couldn't make up his mind. He stood at the door and even forgot to walk in.
"What's wrong? Sect Master Yuan, is there anything else?" Gu Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange light as he asked in confusion.
Now that the enemies who were spying on him had been eliminated, and the Goblin people didn't even dare to appear to fight for it, could there be other problems that he couldn't solve?
"Brother Gu, do you feel its power here? Is it changing?" Yuan Li pointed at the Tianyuan Plant behind him and asked.
"Yes, I could feel it the moment I came in. Moreover, the power seems to be stronger." Gu Zheng answered truthfully.
"That's because its ability to hide its aura has lost its effect. Originally, it would only disappear when it matures. When I was fighting with that demoness, I wanted to destroy it. At that time, you should know that I had no chance of winning against the two of you."
Yuan Li bitterly smiled and sat down in front of Gu Zheng again. Gu Zheng nodded in understanding. It was clear that at that time, Yuan Li had thought that he wouldn't be able to obtain what he couldn't obtain. There was nothing wrong with that.
"However, the other party was too fast. Most of it was intercepted by the other party. Only the protection of the plant was destroyed. After that, I didn't have the chance to fight with the other party until you came."
"Then what do you mean?" Gu Zheng asked carefully.
"Because after this thing matures, it needs a large amount of Immortal Qi to preserve it. Otherwise, it will wither and wither in just three days. More importantly, without its own protection, when it matures, the glow it emits will attract the attention of countless people. Now, with the magic treasure of that Goblin, it can't be seen for the time being. However, as time passes, it will attract the attention of people outside sooner or later. I hope that Brother Gu can help me."
Yuan Li finished his sentence and looked at Gu Zheng with sparkling eyes. Then, he handed over the fiery red ball in his hand and said again.
"I know that my request is very presumptuous. Although this thing isn't anything good, just treat it as a reward for your help."
Just now, when Yuan Li took out this thing, Gu Zheng's eyes lingered on it for a while. It was very likely that Gu Zheng needed this thing. Anyway, to Yuan Li, it was just a slightly more precious refining material. It was far from being comparable to the Tianyuan Plant in front of him.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was still silent, Yuan Li's tone carried a hint of pleading.
"I know that this reward is very little, but right now, I don't have anything better. I hope that for Xiang Xiang's sake, you can help me. I will always remember this friendship in my heart."
This was also the reason why he let Gu Zheng stay at the last moment. Xiang Xiang's trust was one thing, but in addition to his own observation, he was sure that Gu Zheng was trustworthy.
The dazzling light from before must have attracted the attention of many people. Moreover, the Tianyuan Plant would mature soon. He couldn't protect it alone.
If not for the Tianyuan Plant's protection being destroyed, he could have secretly refined it here. In addition, he had set up a formation. Even if others were standing outside, they wouldn't be able to sense the aura inside.
"Don't misunderstand. I just suddenly thought of something." Gu Zheng said apologetically. Then, what he said next made Yuan Li ecstatic. After listening to his words, Gu Zheng suddenly thought that he could ask Yuan Li to help him find Xue 'er's whereabouts. It would be much faster than looking for her alone.
Moreover, the other party had the power of the Great Snow Mountain. They were spread all over the human world. Perhaps he could really destroy the Goblin's conspiracy.
"No problem. When the time comes, I will help you guard this place. Unless you meet an enemy that you can't defeat, you will definitely be able to harvest the Tianyuan Plant in peace."
"Thank you very much, Brother Gu." Yuan Li stood up and bowed to Gu Zheng.
.....
Ten days later, Gu Zheng stood outside the valley. He cast the last green spell in his hand and finally completed the formation they had set up.
All of a sudden, black weapons appeared all over the mountain. They seeped into the mountain from various places and then disappeared. Then, white fog emerged from the foot of the mountain and slowly covered the entire mountain. After a sudden flash of light, the entire mountain disappeared from the eyes of the outside world.
In fact, on the fifth day, Goblin Deng's magic weapon could no longer suppress the light below. Countless red lights emerged from all over the mountain and went straight to the sky. Half of the white clouds in the sky were dyed red. It was very dazzling. It was estimated that all the human cities near the Bezos Mountain Range could see it.
Those stone walls had no effect at all. They were penetrated by the light of the Tianyuan Plant itself. Although the two of them barely suppressed it at that time, the more obvious wave had already spread out.
In these few days, Gu Zheng and Yuan Li rushed day and night. Finally, they set up a simple concealment formation and a few powerful formations. Although it couldn't stop any enemy of Jin Xian, those Little Goblin below the Celestial Immortal level would not come in to join in the fun.
It was to prevent the innocent casualties because of them.
At present, there were already many lesser yaos loitering around. In fact, there were even some Heavenly Immortal stage yaos lurking around. This abnormality was clearly the result of the emergence of an excellent treasure. Only those with talent would be able to obtain it. Whoever managed to snatch it would be the one to keep it.
Although they didn't know the cultivation of Gu Zheng and the others, they still wandered around the periphery to see if there was a chance to be the lucky one.
Gu Zheng didn't have the energy to care about them. Such a big movement before would definitely attract some people living in the Bezos Mountain Range. Even some people from the human countries would fly over to see what was happening here. After all, it would only take a few days for them to come here.
After Gu Zheng and the others finished all this, they immediately returned to the cave residence. Gu Zheng looked at the fireball that was slowly absorbing energy in the magma. He also calmed down and began to meditate.
Due to Yuan Li's previous use, it caused a little loss. Now it was being replenished. It seemed that there might not be a chance to use it this time.
Five days later, Gu Zheng woke up from his meditation. Yuan Li woke up earlier than him. Now he had removed the defense around the Tianyuan Plant.
Now, Gu Zheng could clearly see that the magma was slowly descending. The ice surrounding the magma that hadn't melted for tens of thousands of years was also beginning to melt. There was almost no gap between the budding flowers.
It was about to mature.
"Swoosh"
Gu Zheng then grabbed the fireball that was exposed from the magma into his palm.
Compared to the dim luster before, it now looked very full. Layers of flowing flames constantly flashed on the surface. After half a month of rest, it had recovered to its best state.
Gu Zheng glanced at it. Finally, he hesitated and kept it. He didn't have time to break the seal. He would talk about it after this matter was over.
This thing was a fire attribute item. It could definitely help Gu Zheng to break a layer of seal here. But it was damaged before. He was afraid that it would affect his condition, so he threw it into the magma to repair it.
Seeing Yuan Li standing in front of him with a serious face, he already had some spiritual power replenishing elixirs in his mouth.
"Sect Master Yuan, I'll go out first."
Yuan Li didn't say anything. He just nodded at Gu Zheng. The meaning in his eyes couldn't be clearer.
"I'm counting on you."
